Dōkai

The Society of the Way (Japanese: 道会 (どうかい), Hepburn: Dōkai) is a Japanese new religion founded by Matsumura Kaiseki in 1907 which synthesizes aspects of Christian, Confucian, Daoist, and traditional Japanese thought. Its four main tenets are theism (Japanese: 信神), ethical cultivation (Japanese: 修徳), neighborly love (Japanese: 愛隣), and a belief in eternal life (Japanese: 永生).
